Hello, today I'm coming to you with a tag game related to DPS

Favorite character: IT'S COMPLICATED BECAUSE I LOVE ALL POETS AND KEATING BUT OKAY I LIKE NEIL AND CHARLIE THE MOST (and of course Todd, our little, sweet muffin)

Hated character (and why is it monster Perry)(sorry, my mistake, *mister):

Favourite ship: definitely Anderperry

Favorite scene: the dance in the cave and Keating's goodbye

Favorite poem: definitely "We are dreaming of tomorrow" (I plan on getting it tattooed on my back lol)

Favorite quote: there are a lot of them... but I think "I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way" and "No matter what people tell you, words and ideas change the world”

song that you associate with DPS: Under pressure by Queen, American Pie by Don McLean

Favorite theory: I read it somewhere here, on Tumblr. Remember the deleted scene where all the poets eat with their left hand to get rid of old habits? And remember the suicide scene? (of course you remember, it's impossible to forget that). Well, probably right-handed Neil shot himself with his left hand... (I don't remember the author of this theory, if anyone knows him let me know, I'll tag him)

Favorite symbol: Neil's wreath was made of evergreens. evergreens don't die in winter...

I'm looking forward to your answers!

Favorite character: charlie most likely, but i really love ginny too, she's a close second. but charlie's character is just so damn interesting like UGH the essays i could write.

Hated character: I probably hate Nolan the most, just because he's the literal personification of the principles opposing the poets. But obviously Mr. Perry pisses me off as well, also pretty peeved by Knox.

Favourite ship: AH GO AHEAD AND SUE ME BUT it's charginny ✨✨

Favorite scene: oh gosh this is so hard AHHH!! okay if i had to choose i would say either the radio scene or the final scene when the boys stand on the desks it's so iconic i can't not mention it (and honorable mention the kickball scene followed by the soccer montage)

Favorite poem: todd's improvised poem is sooo good, i like "we're dreaming of tomorrow" also, which we never officially get. as far as real poems, i do love the excerpt from walden by thoreau read at every meeting because its sooo true to the theme of the film and life in general.

Favorite quote: there are just sooo many, dps has COUNTLESS iconic quotes and scenes, but if i had to choose the best option is most definitely the entire "we don't read and write poetry" monologue. especially the quotage of O Me! O Life!, it's just sooo well done and resonates so much with me.

song that you associate with DPS: oh gosh there are SO many. under pressure by queen, american pie by don mclean, for emma by bon iver, the lakes by taylor swift, piano man by billy joel, white winter hymnal, the manuscript by taylor swift, empty chairs by don mclean, merry christmas please don't call by the bleachers, hallelujah, etc. etc.

Favorite theory: there are probably sooo many i'm forgetting but the best i can think of is not really a theory and more of a fun thing but just that todd became mr. anderson from perks of being a wallflower. not necessarily that it's true in it of itself, but maybe he did become something adjacent.

Favorite symbol: not really a symbol and more of a motif, but i love the symbol of performance. because it's executed in so many ways and every character exhibits it in one way or another, whether literally or metaphorically, and that only plays further into the theme that they'll never truly break free from that aspect of society which warrants some type of performance in order to please.

Favorite Character: my fav is Meeks (as I’m sure we all know by now) but a close second is Neil just bc of how much I relate to him :)

Hated Character: I agree with bsf on this one, Nolan is def my number 1 most hated and then Mr. Perry is number 2 for obvious reasons

Favorite Ship: most definitely Anderperry, not only did I write an entire fanfic about them, but I can stop yapping about them sooooo

Favorite Scene: it’s a tie between Pitts and Meeks dancing together or the poets watching Neil perform as puck

Favorite Poem: I also enjoy the hdt excerpt read at every meeting, but my fav “original” poem from the film would have to be Charlie’s. It not only embodies his character, the whole trying to be silly to cover up the real meaning of the poem, but he also brings a musical element to it with his sax :p

Favorite Quote: as an English major, my fav quote from the film has always been “No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world.”

Song you associate with dps: there are so many, so I’ll name my top 5 lmao: Under Pressure by Queen, Dog Days Are Over by Florence + The Machine, right where you left me by Taylor Swift, forwards beckon rebound by Adrianne Lenker, and Graceland Too by Phoebe Bridgers

Favorite Theory: I’m gonna have to agree with Grace AGAIN (we literally share the same brain) but the pobaw and dps agenda is strong and I do believe Mr. Anderson is Todd

Favorite Symbol: I’m not sure if this counts as a symbol but I’m running with it! I love how Neil’s “high,” so to speak, while playing Puck, is juxtaposed by his “low” with his father right before he dies, can be seen as representing his bi-polar depression

Favorite character: I'm sure you all know by now my fav character is Charlie. Idk, his personality and style appeal so much to me, I mean he is such an interesting and fun guy to hang out with. Also, Neil is a close second cause I relate to him a lot (theater kid right here)

Hated character: Ofc it's Nolan! C'mon the guy needed everything to be done in a certain way without caring about thinking outside the box, discovering what's life really about, getting to know ourselves better and become a better version of what we are! I COULD SOOO YAWP ABOUT IT! Mr. Perry is another character that pisses me off as well, and I think no words needed here

Favorite ship: I'm going with the classic anderperry, cause they are so cute!! My best friend and I literally call them "pookie and shayla"

Favorite scene: AHHH this is so difficult to choose, but I'd say the scene where Charlie plays the sax (I really can't resist) and the desk scene ofc cause it's so emotional and I love that Todd is the first one who stands up, like shows he's overcame his fear and shyness

Favorite poem: Charlie's poem ahhh!! The fact that it's an "original" poem makes it even more special! It shows that he's not only a bold and sarcastic teenager who loves being a rebel and breaking the rules but also someone who wants to express his ideas and thoughts, to make the world a better place, we see a more serious side of his which we're not used to

Favorite quote: "No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world". We live in a world where many people don't understand the power of these words and I hate it

Song you associate with dps: God there are SO many but I'll name my top 5 too: Piano Man by Billy Joel, American Pie by Don McLean, Heroes by David Bowie, Do You Want To Know A Secret by The Beatles and Back To The Old House by The Smiths

Favorite theory: I'm gonna have to agree with my friends, Grace and Abby, right here! I haven't seen The Perks of Being a Wallflower, it's definitely on my watchlist though, but according to all the videos I've seen this is sooo real

Favorite symbol: I know it's heavy but I wanted to share. The scene where the incident takes place is full of symbols. One of them is when Neil decided to open the window of his bedroom even though it was freezing outside. This action implied that the character wanted to breath and feel alive for the last time before he left the room forever

Favorite character: AGH THIS IS SO HARD but imma say todd bc he is so me

Hated character: ofc mr perry 🤬

Favorite ship: ANDERPERRY <3

Favorite scene: probably the final scene! oh captain my captain never fails to bring me to tears

Favorite poem: i like gather ye rosebuds while ye may but omg i cannot stop chanting then I saw the congo creeping through the black cutting through the jungle with a golden track 🗣️🔥‼️

Favorite quote: SO MANY BANGER QUOTES I CANT CHOOSE 1: "no matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world." "carpe diem. seize the day, boys. make your lives extraordinary." "medecine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. but poetry, beauty, romance, love: these are what we stay alive for." ON GOD I LOVE THE HUMANITIES!! I LOVE THE ARTS!!!

Song you associate with dps: don't dream it's over by crowded house

Favorite theory: i dont remember exactly, but it's the one where todd is studying and there's a math book right beside him, hinting that the math class he's taking is not as advanced as the others (??? cmiiw)

Favorite character: Neil mf perry idc if im basic for this ‼️

Hated character: mr perry obviously but also mr nolan

Favourite ship: anderfreakingperry of course

Favorite scene: the flying desk set scene and meeks+pitts on the rooftop

Favorite poem: todd's improvised poem

Favorite quote: im gonna do multiple > I WAS GOOD. I WAS REALLY GOOD. > it's god! he says we should have girls at welton :) > “And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love: these are what we stay alive for.” HM: damnit neil...the name is nuwanda 💔

Song that you associate with DPS: don't dream it's over by crowded house, piano man by billy joel, the winner takes it all by abba, anthems of a 17 year old girl by yeule, no 1 party anthem by arctic monkeys, just by radiohead

Favorite theory: todd anderson -> mr anderson from tpobaw

Favorite symbol: THE POETRY BOOK (the contrast of neil looking at the book smiling/mr perry looking at the same book sobbing after his death)
